According to recent reports, Sporting CP is open to a £63 million offer for Viktor Gyokeres next summer. The talented Sweden international has been on top form since joining the Portuguese club last year for a fee of £20 million from Coventry City, scoring an impressive 66 goals in just 67 games across all competitions.
His outstanding performances have caught the attention of top Premier League clubs, such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Chelsea. After Sporting's impressive 4-1 victory over Manchester City on Tuesday, incoming United manager Ruben Amorim was asked about the possibility of signing Gyokeres. However, he made it clear that the striker will not be joining the team in the upcoming January transfer window, but there is a chance he could leave next summer.
It is worth noting that Gyokeres currently has a release clause of €100 million in his contract with Sporting. However, according to The Telegraph, the club is willing to let him go for a fee of £63 million at the end of the season. Amorim has made it clear that he has no intention of holding onto the player against his will, but rather respects his right to pursue other opportunities.
In fact, Gyokeres himself has expressed his admiration for Amorim and the impact he has had on the team. The striker even scored a hat-trick in their win over Manchester City and spoke highly of his soon-to-be former manager. He acknowledged that they will miss him and the rest of the staff, but understands that they must move on and face their next challenge as a team.
As for Manchester United, there has been no mention of a potential move for Gyokeres at this time. Amorim has made it clear that it is not a topic to be joked about, given his connection to the city and country. So for now, it seems that Gyokeres will remain with Sporting CP until the end of the season, but anything can happen in the dynamic world of football. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer story.
